Make a gift or donation

A gift is the simplest way to support us. A gift with a tax certificate is only possible through our fund at KU Leuven. You are always free to choose the amount you donate. You can transfer a gift to account number BE45 7340 1941 7789, BIC code: KREDBEBB of KU Leuven, quoting the structured reference +++400/0016/44389+++. Your support goes entirely to the Hippo & Friends type 1 diabetesfonds. KU Leuven issues a tax certificate for gifts from €40.

Hippo thanks you warmly for your support!

A message to our donors: update your details and don't miss out on your tax certificate!

Make a notarial donation

You can also make a notarial donation. This is a more formal way of giving and can also cover immovable property. The big difference with a bank gift or a hand gift is that the donation is recorded in a notarial deed. For more information you can contact KU Leuven - Fondsenwerving & Alumnirelaties: tel. +32 16 32 41 44, e-mail.

Standing order

You decide on a fixed moment (monthly, for example) and a fixed amount to support the project of your choice with a gift through a standing order. You can adjust or stop your order at any time. In spring you automatically receive a tax certificate for the total amount of all your gifts over the past year. From € 40 a year onwards, your gift is tax deductible. You can spread your gift across the whole year without having to remember to renew it.

Download the document for a standing payment order here. You can hand it in completed at your bank. 

Or you can of course set up a standing order digitally straight away via your bank's website or app.

An appeal at a life event

Are you organising a birthday party, a wedding, a graduation party or a retirement celebration? You can invite your guests to make a donation to the Hippo & Friends type 1 diabetesfonds. Are you welcoming a baby into the family soon and looking for an alternative to the traditional baby registry? Donations to a good cause are a wonderful initiative.

Contact us at info@hippoandfriends.be or at steun@kuleuven.be for a unique reference, which allows us to send you a general overview of the donations (names of the donors and the total amount, no individual amounts). The usual donation principle applies here too: a gift of 40 euros or more entitles you to a tax certificate.

In memoriam

Would you like to include an appeal for donations in the death notice of a loved one? Thank you for thinking of us in these difficult times.

Through the Hippo & Friends type 1 diabetesfonds at KU Leuven you can obtain a unique reference to include in the death notice. A gift from 40 euros entitles you to a tax certificate. You can contact us by phone or by e-mail.
